This is to allow only to include some chapters, right?  That could be
handled easily with a little sed/grep magic, if we really need it.

I must admit I don't remember what the exact problem was, just that
there was some issue with include files, which led to using SGML instead
of XML at work.

The current SGML->XML support in the makefiles doesn't work, right?  In
that case I don't see any reason not to commit the patch you are
refering to in that mail, since it doesn't affect anything but XML.

One note about that patch. I think you should use "${ECHO_CMD}" instead
of "echo"; not that it makes much real difference, but for style.
